Indonesia Lintong - Arabica Typica

About This Coffee

This Arabica Typica from Lingtong in North Sumatra is processed using Giling Basah, the traditional wet-hulling method that gives Indonesian coffees their distinctive heavy body and earthy complexity. Grown between 1350 and 1500 meters, the beans are roasted using charcoal sumiyaki, a Japanese technique that layers smoky character over the coffee's natural profile. The result is a bittersweet cup with crisp edges and a clean finish, where the roasting smoke integrates with the variety's inherent complexity rather than obscuring it.

Japanese Coffee Co

If you think you’ve tasted everything in coffee, you probably haven't tried the Japanese Sumiyaki (charcoal roasting) method this company specializes in. Founded by Kei Nishida, they actually roast their beans over burning Binchotan charcoal, similar to high-end grilling, rather than using standard gas burners. This technique cooks the beans from the inside out, creating a savory, smoky flavor. It’s a totally different approach that feels more like traditional craftsmanship than mass production. You should definitely try their coffee if you want a cup that is rich, mellow, and incredibly easy on the stomach.
